The boy is grinning and holding on to his hat. But he is looking at the ribbon in the girl's hair blowing, not at her skirt. Could he be acting the gentleman?

The girl's skirt blows up right on cue. She appears to have been ready to stop it from blowing all the way up. The look on her face may express surprise, or it may be something other reaction. She has dropped her bag of peanuts, but has held on to her balloon.
